Description

(Text)
Ethnic stigma is the worst-case scenario for a migrant group, but migrants cope with origin narratives and partial masking - two novel concepts introduced in this book. Parallel to the national narratives of natives, immigrant origin narratives by Vietnamese in Germany invoke and retrench the histories of East & West Germany and North & South Vietnam. By partially masking their identity as Chinese or Asian, Vietnamese entrepreneurs circumvent ethnic stigma and use their physiognomy to market exotic goods.
